Tony Bennett earns his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 at age 85

At the age 85, Tony Bennett has finally earned his very first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 album sales chart, with “Duets II” arriving at the penthouse. The set moved 179,000 copies, with numbers helped along by the sheer number and caliber of stars that appeared on the set, including Amy Winehouse”s final recording session and collaborations with Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey and Carrie Underwood.

The famed jazz singer has earned 14 Grammys throughout his 50+ years of experience, but his charting best was previously in 2006 when the first volume of “Duets” arrived at No. 3. Now, he becomes the oldest living act to achieve a No. 1 album; that title formerly belonged to Bob Dylan, whose “Together Through Life” topped that chart when he was 67.

Demi Lovato”s third album “Unbroken” starts at No. 4 with 96,000 units. Her last “Here We Go Again” (2009) debuted at No. 1 with 108,000, while her first “Don”t Forget” (2008) got to No. 2 with 89,000.

Needtobreathe”s “The Reckoning” bows at No. 6 with 49,000, which is the rock band”s best charting and sales week. The Taylor Swift tourmates” previous “The Outsiders” (2009) made it to No. 20 with 21,000.
